Making Your own Baby Food

I feel like over the past few years, baby food making has become quite the trend. My youngest is not ready for solids just yet, but I made baby food for my first two children and will plan to do the same for when she is ready. It amazes me all of the new products that hit the market encouraging and helping parents create healthy, easy, and quick purees for their babies. We now have all these resources available to us, so it is only natural we take them and make their food. Here are some of our favorite fresh baby food systems:
